SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment Initiation (G12009 -001)
Newport Beach Country Club (PA2005 -140 & PA2008 -152)
ISSUE:
Should the City initiate a General Plan Amendment to amend Anomaly Nos. 46 & 74 of
Table LU2 of the General Plan Land Use Element in order to accommodate the
renovation of the Newport Beach Country Club?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council initiate a General Plan Amendment by adopting the
attached resolution.
DISCUSSION:
The Newport Beach Country Club has General Plan Land Use designations of
Recreational and Environmental Open Space for the tennis club site with an allotment of
24 tennis courts and Recreational and Environmental Open Space for the 132 -acre golf
course site with no specific development limit.
During the General Plan 2006 Update, representatives of the Newport Beach Country
Club indicated their intent to renovate the existing golf and tennis facilities by
constructing new golf and tennis clubhouses and providing short-term rental and
residential opportunities. The City, in response, agreed to consider their request and
subsequently re- designated the tennis club site as Mixed Use Horizontal 3 /Park and
Recreation (MU- H3 /PR) with a development limit of 24 tennis courts and the potential
for commercial and residential developments per Anomaly No. 46. The golf course site
was designated as Park and Recreation (PR) with a development limit of 35,000 square
feet per Anomaly No. 74.

The development limits included in the Anomaly table do not correctly characterize
the extent of redevelopment as was intended at the time the General Plan was adopted.
As a result, staff is requesting the following amendments to Anomaly Nos. 46 and 74:

• Remove 17 of 24 tennis court (7 tennis courts remaining);
• Add 27 hotel units (for visitor - serving short-term rental units);

new clubhouse with spa/fitness facility; and
• Allocate 5 of the 450 residential units allowed in the Newport Center /Fashion
Area (20 units are remaining at this time)
Anomaly No. 74 (Golf Course /Club Site):
• Increase the development limit from 35,000 to 55,500 square feet to
accommodate a new clubhouse with ancillary uses.
Environmental Review:
A General Plan amendment initiation is considered to be feasibility or planning study by
staff, which is statutorily exempt pursuant to Section 15262 of the Implementing
Guidelines for the California Environmental Equality Act.
Public Notice:
Notice is not required to initiate a General Plan Amendment. Should the request be
approved, there will be noticed Planning Commission and City Council public hearings.

LU 4.2 Prohibition of New Residential Subdivisions
Prohibit new residential subdivisions that would result in additional
dwelling units unless authorized by an amendment of the General Plan
(GPA). Lots that have been legally merged through the Sirbditirion Map
Act and City Subdivision Code approvals are exempt from the GPA
requirements and may be re- subdivided to the original underlying legal
lots. This policy is applicable to all Single Unit, Two Unit, and Multiple
Unit Residential land use categories. (Imp 6.1)
LU 4.3 Transfer of Development Rights
Permit the transfer of development rights from a property to one or
more other properties when:
a. The donor and receiver sites are within the same Statistical Area.
b. The reduced density /intensity on the donor site provides benefits
to the City such as, but not limited to, the (1) provision of
extraordinary open space, public visual corridor(s), parking or other
amenities; (2) preservation of an historic building or property or
natural landscapes; (3) improvement of the area's scale and
development character; (4) consolidation of lots to achieve a better
architectural design than could be achieved without lot
consolidation; and /or (5) reduction of local vehicle trips and traffic
congestion;
c. The increment of growth transferred to the receiver site
complements and is in scale with surrounding development,
complies with community character and design policies contained
in this Plan, and does not materially degrade local traffic conditions
and environmental quality.
d. Transfer of Development Rights in Newport Center is governed by
Policy 6.14.3 (Imp 2.1, 5.1, 10.2)
